Omega-3 and Blueberry Supplementation in Age-Related Cognitive Decline
Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of 6 months' dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids and whole freeze dried blueberry powder in improving cognition in older adults. The effects of each of these interventions alone will also be assessed in order to determine whether the combined treatment confers synergistic or additive benefit relative to the effect of each therapy.
Conditions: Age-related Memory Disorders, Mood Disorders.
Primary outcome: Working Memory and Executive Ability.
Enrollment: 94 participants.
